Chapter 7- Couldn't Hurt

"Come on Ronald! We're going to miss the train!" Hermione shouted over her shoulder as they ran off toward the entrance to the train. Harry and Ginny were at Hermione's side pushing their own trunks to the train. Ron was walking leisurely behind them.

After making into the train they all started searching for a compartment to fit them all.

"Hey guys found one." Harry said peering into the last compartment.

"Cutting it a little close aren't we?" Luna said looking up from her quibbler.

"Well we would have been here earlier but Ron decided to take his good ol' time." Ginny said taking a seat next to Hermione on one side but not too close because Luna was there.

"We made it didn't we?" Ron said as he sat at the window next to Luna, Harry taking a seat on the other side of her.

"How was your summer, Luna?" Hermione asked.

"It was wonderful. I got all my shoes back from the Nargles." Luna said as if it was an everyday occurrence.

Harry look at Luna, "Well, that's great news." everyone shook their heads agreeing with Harry.

"Oh, by the way, have you guys seen Neville?" Luna asked the group.

"We did. He was looking for Trevor again." Ron laughed.

"Oh, no. I better go help him." Luna said leaving the compartment.

As soon as the compartment door shut Ginny scooted closer to her girlfriend.

"I know we are supposed to keep this a secret but are we going to have to keep it away from Luna and Neville? They are always with us; we will never have time together." Ginny whined to Hermione.

"They aren't always with us but I get what you mean. Maybe we should tell them? I mean, it couldn't hurt, right?" Hermione said taking Ginnys hand in hers, "If we told them not to tell anyone they wouldn't." Ginny said giving her girlfriend's hand a squeeze.

"Alright, then. We will tell them the next time we get the chance." Hermione said giving Ginny a quick kiss.

The group relaxed in the cabin the rest of the trip. Ron and Harry excused themselves to go look for the sweet cart that had yet to come by.

Not long after the two boys left Luna and Neville soon joined them in the cabin.

Hermione and Ginny didn't expect them. At the sound of the door opening they scooted away from each other awkwardly blushing all shades of crimson.

"H-hey guys did you find Trevor alright? Hermione stuttered, trying to act as nonchalant at possible.

"Yeah, it was pretty easy. The first year girls were not very fond of him." Luna giggled as her and Neville sat opposite the two other girls.

"So…how are you guys?" Neville said looking back and forth between the still blushing girls.

"W-we're okay." Ginny said looking at Hermione for the go ahead.

Clearing her throat, "Actually, we wanted to talk to you guys about something." Hermione said looking at Ginny then to the others.

"Hermione, is something wrong?" Neville said looking concerned.

Waving her hands, "Oh, no, no, no nothings wrong. We just need to tell you guy's something. You guys are our friends and we know we can trust you guys with anything. You two have to promise not to tell anyone, okay?" Hermione said looking intently at the others.

Ginny and Luna looked at each others, "You can trust us, Hermione."

"U-um well Hermione and me are…well were together." Ginny struggled to get the words right.

Neville and Luna's eyes go wide.

"You guys don't have to approve or anything but you guys are our best friends and you deserve to know" Ginny looked down at the compartments floor.

Neville and Luna look at each other as huge smiles erupt on their faces. They stand up quickly and rush towards the unsuspecting girls across from them.

Luna yells a girlish scream as she crashes onto Ginny grabbing her in a crushing hug.

Neville did the same though without the girly scream.

"Oh my god! I am so happy for you guys!" Luna said while hugging Ginny.

"Lunaa, ca-can't breath" Ginny gasped.

"Oh sorry, Ginny. I am just so happy for you two." Luna said moving to sit in her seat.

"If you haven't caught on yet we totally approve!" Neville said smiling taking his seat next to Luna.

"Really?" smiling, "We were kind of afraid you guys wouldn't want to be friends anymore." Ginny said taking Hermione's hand, happy that she didn't have to hide it.

"Don't be stupid, we will always be your friends, guys." Neville said as Luna shook her head in agreement, "Do Ron and Harry know?"

"Yeah we told them this week. They are alright with it too. They actually saw it coming. They even had a bet on us going." Hermione said smiling, as if a million pounds had been lifted from her.

"They would!" Luna said laughing.

"I am assuming because you want us to keep quiet you don't plan on telling anyone else at Hogwarts?" Neville asked.

"Yeah, my parents took Hermione and I aside and told us that it would be dangerous if the wrong person found out about us…so we decided, just to be safe, that we would keep it a secret." Ginny said.

"I guess that makes sense. The Slytherins alone would have a field day." Luna shook her head in disgust. "We will help you keep it a secret, don't worry."

"Thanks, so much. You guys have no idea how much that means to me-us." Hermione said leaning into her girlfriend.

"You guys are so cute." Luna giggled looking at the two girls.

The girls blush. The door to the compartment opened and the two girls stiffened. Harry and Ron walked in with an armful each of sweets.

Relaxing a little, "You guys are going to rot your teeth out." Hermione laughed at the boys who had goofy grins on their faces.

"So, i'm taking a wild guess that you told them?" Harry said looking at the girls.

"They did." Luna grinned.

The group looked at each other.

"This year is going to be brilliant." Ron sighed into his chocolate frog.

Everyone smiled back, agreeing entirely.

They all relaxed in the compartment for the next few hours.

"We should probably get dressed we should be arriving soon." Hermione said closing her book. She looked down at the girl who found her way into her lap. She brushed the red hair away from her girlfriends sleeping face.

She is so cute when she's sleeping. I don't really want to wake her up.

Harry looked up at the two girls and smiled before returning to his newspaper.

"Hey, Ginnn, time to get up. We're going to be at Hogwarts soon." Hermione sung.

Ginny stirred in her girlfriend lap.

"Mmm, cant we just stay here." Ginny mumbled into her girlfriend leg.

"No, come on, let's get dressed." Hermione giggled, helping her girlfriend up.

They walked through a few compartments before reaching the bathrooms. It looked as if the entire train decided to dress into their robes and the same time and they were last in line.

They stood in line focusing very hard on not letting their hands find each others.

As a bathroom opened, "I'll meet you out here when you're done." Hermione said as Ginny took the open bathroom. Ginny nodded.

"Well, what have we here?" Draco sneered as he walked up behind the brunette.

Sighing, "What, Malfoy?" Hermione said annoyed, turning around to face Draco and his two goons.

"That is no way to talk to me mudblood." Draco grinned wildly.

"Whatever. Why don't you grab your little goons and run along." Hermione laughed pointing at Crabbe and Goyle before turning her back to Malfoy.

A boney hand grabbed her shoulder and spun her around. "What was that Granger?"

"Get your hands off me Malfoy." Hermione said taking a step back.

He was right in front of her. She stepped backwards again, but there was nowhere left to go. Her back hit the wall.

What the hell does he think he's doing?

"What do you want Malfoy?"

Hermione looked up at Malfoy to see his eyes staring at her chest. She folded her arms over her tank top.

He was so close, their bodies were touching. She could smell the musky odor coming from his clothes. He lifted his arms and rested them on either side of her head. She shrunk into herself.

Why on earth did I leave my wand in the compartment! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

He leaned forward, breathing into her ear. "You will treat me with respect, mudblood." He said licking his lips hungrily.

"Petrificus Totalus!" A voice shouted behind them.

Draco's body went stiff and toppled onto the floor with the loud thud. His goons took one look at the fury in Ginnys eyes and ran off leaving their fallen comrade.

Lowering her wand Ginny ran over to the girl up against the wall.

"Are you okay?!" Ginny said looking into her girlfriends eyes.

Hermione realized Ginny was there and shook her head, "Y-yeah, I'm alright. Gah! Malfoy is a prick!"

"I think that's the biggest understatement I have ever heard." Ginny said laughing.

Stepping over Draco's body Hermione walked to the bathroom and dressed as quick as possible.

"Malfoy is such an idiot." Ginny said shaking her head, "Let's get back to the compartment before he gets up." Ginny said looking back at the motionless Draco.

They reach the compartment just as the train started to slow.

"Finally, let's get out of here. I'm starving." Ron said standing up.

Thanks for reading!

Hopefully I will get another chapter soon!
